So every time I'm sponsoring someone on Github, Microsoft loses some money? That's even better!

I don't get this comment.

I host all my OSS projects on Github so I can have free and unlimited CI. I have access to Github Copilot for free. I use VScode which is arguably a great software all day, every day.

All this because Microsoft has a shit ton of money and they can afford funding the OSS community as a whole.

And you don't think there might be a reason for all that (and that reason might correlate with people being happy to get one over them)?

Suddenly I want to support a lot of small projects so they eat more transaction fees.

Presumably they don't charge credit cards individually...
